Predictive Models and High-Performance Computing as Tools to Accelerate the Scaling-Up of New Bio-Based Fuels Workshop: Summary Report

This report summarizes the results of a virtual workshop sponsored by the Bioenergy Technologies Office held on June 9–11, 2020. The workshop discussed best practices for utilizing mathematical modeling tools across multiple scales to reduce technology uncertainty and accelerate scaling-up of biorefinery/chemical production equipment and optimize operations.

Los Alamos National Laboratory High Performance Computing Overview [Slides]

We need such big computers because without testing, we don't understand the health of the AGING stockpile. Our big computers store a wealth of test data. We model weapons as they were tested and see if we can match the results to validate models, and we then use validated models along with dismantlement information on aging to certify the stockpile. Sometimes the results of tests can’t be explained well, so even that part requires massive computations, but applying the model to future use is an astonishing amount of computing.

A high level language for a high performance computer

The proposed computational aerodynamic facility will join the ranks of the supercomputers due to its architecture and increased execution speed. At present, the languages used to program these supercomputers have been modifications of programming languages which were designed many years ago for sequential machines. A new programming language should be developed based on the techniques which have proved valuable for sequential programming languages and incorporating the algorithmic techniques required for these supercomputers. The design objectives for such a language are outlined.
